Come all of you fellas where'er you may beCome sit down awhile and listen to meThe truth I will tell you without a mistake'Bout the rackets we had down in Blue Mountain LakeDerry down down down derry down

There’s the Sullivan Brothers and big Jimmy LouAnd old Moose Gilbert and dandy Pat tooAs fine lot of fellah’s as ever was seenAnd they all worked for Griffin on township 19Derry down down down derry down

Bill Mitchell you know he kept our shantyAs mean a damn man that you ever did seeHe laid round the shanty from morning til nightIf a man said a word he was ready to fightDerry down down down derry down

One day before daylight Jim Lou he got madKnocked the hell out of Mitchell and the boys was all gladHis wife she stood there and the truth I will tellShe was tickled to death to see Mitchell catch hellDerry down down down derry down

Instrumental break

And now me good fellas adieu to you allFor Christmas is coming and I’m going to Glen FallsAnd when I get there I’ll go out on a spreeFor you know when I’ve money the devils in meDerry down down down derry down
